We should respect all religions and just believe in peace, kindness and harmony.

We derive so much of our self-confidence and validation from Instagram. Just imagine one day Instagram gets deleted like all of your friends who you think you have on social media, all these likes and comments just disappear, what are we left with? We have stopped valuing human relationships and contact.
Some essential oils, a nice massage followed by a power nap helps me start my Sunday on the right note. After a week full of running around, this becomes the perfect rejuvenation.
Unfiltered photos always get more attention. Filters are easy to discern.
I want young girls and women to feel like they connect with me and that they don't have to aspire for unreal beauty or fashion standards.
In my school, we wore uniforms and couldn't apply nail polish or kajal.
I am the type of person who can get ready in precisely five minutes, so I obviously just mix and match and wear whatever I am feeling like on that day.
In our family, and not just us but even with my cousins, uncles and aunts, we celebrate every festival - be it Christmas, Easter, Eid, Diwali or our birthdays.
People who troll are people who need love the most. They namelessly, facelessly bully people because they've probably never been loved. So it's even more important to show these people the amount of love you're capable of.
I don't ever want young women to look at me and feel any kind of pressure to look or dress like me.
Enjoying phuljharis is the first thing that I can think of from my childhood Diwali days.
I have inherited my father's thick skin, which helps me deal with trolls.
I have had my fair share of relationships. It's normal and one shouldn't judge me for it because in school you have many short-short relationships, you know.
As soon as you start speaking in a different language or with a different accent, it changes you as a person.
When 'SOTY 2' got delayed by a year, my dad actually didn't even congratulate me till the film released because that's how fickle the industry is. That's how dispensable people are.
I was exposed to the public because my dad is an actor. My pictures went online at a young age. A lot of negativity came from there. Not just with me, but it happened with a lot of my friends who are in the public eye.
I think it's very important to use your voice and use your voice responsibly. But, having said that, I think you should have all the knowledge before you do that.
Winning a Filmfare Black Lady is a big deal for me.
A lot of people body shame me because I am very thin. They say I have a 'boy's body,' or that I look like a skeleton or like a runaway patient. People can never be happy, so you just have to be happy with your body and how you are.
In school, I would always be uncomfortable because my skirt would expose my thin, chicken legs and wiry hands.
I have always wanted to be an actor.
Just because my dad has been an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act. My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on 'Koffee With Karan.' So it's not as easy as people say.
I feel like when you're 18 or 19, you have to have fun, live in the moment, and not overthink things.
I don't like to wear much makeup when I'm off-duty, so I usually just swipe on my Lakme lip balm, wear a little mascara and I'm ready to head out the door.
I believe crop tops can be worn with literally anything, but I think it'd be really cool to pair them with track pants.
I'm a serial scroller, and whenever I have a minute to spare, you'll find me on my phone scrolling through Instagram.
My mum has always brought the third perspective. She has seen my dad through his ups and downs and I feel that's why she can give me the best advice because she has seen it all as a neutral person.
I don't think I can live without my mum.
I think it's a blessing that social media is such a big thing.
People take social media too seriously. It should be something that is fun, something that inspires you, not stresses you out.
Trolls want reactions. Don't become a bully because they're bullying you!
I completely believe in peace and non-violence.
I know I am an actor and whatever I say people are going to get influenced by that.
No, I'm not an insecure person at all.
So, acting has been my dream. But I didn't groom myself for it. I was studying and then got into college. I thought I'd start auditioning once college was over, but luckily, I got the chance earlier, so there was no time to prepare.
Like any other 20-year-old, I have my dreams and I'm lucky I'm getting to live it.
I'm well aware of my privilege.
I am really skinny even though I eat like a beast.
I would get called a hunchback as I am tall and would always bend down to hear people. This is the reason trolls don't affect me, as I have been bullied in school.
I was, and still am, very scared of fire.
It doesn't feel like 'work' when you are working with your dad.
I'm very open about my feelings and I'm very open about the people I have crushes on.
I was overwhelmed to see Salman Khan sir in real life!
Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan, I am obsessed with both of them.
The world of social media can be so nasty and negative, especially for women.
It's okay to be attracted to other people but not to the point where your partner gets uncomfortable.
I can't ever deal with a boyfriend or husband like Chintu Tyagi. I'm a very loyal and I expect the same.
I am romantic person, I love being in love.
You can't change who your parents are, and I would never want to do that.
Being a star kid, I don't want to complain. I am lucky and super blessed. Yes, there is a negative side of comparison and trolling, but there are so many positive aspects to it and I just want to focus on that.
